Simultaneous Hydrogen Production and Water Purification Method Discovered

University of Alberta researchers have discovered a new catalyst that can produce hydrogen and purify water simultaneously. The catalyst is made with non-toxic and plentiful materials, making it an affordable and accessible alternative to current catalysts on the market. It can be used with any type of water, making it an edge over current ways to generate hydrogen. The researchers are initially looking to craft off-grid devices that could help remote communities or aid in disaster relief.
